How many kilometers does the Equinox need to be serviced once?
2 Answers
The Equinox needs to be serviced every 5,000 kilometers. Below is the relevant introduction for the 2021 535T Frontier Edition Equinox: 1. Powertrain: Equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. 2. Body dimensions: Length, width, and height are 4646mm, 1843mm, and 1684mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2725mm, front track of 1581mm, and rear track of 1589mm. 3. Chassis: The drivetrain is front-wheel drive, with a front suspension of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension of multi-link independent suspension.
I remember when I first started driving the Equinox, I was a bit clueless. I took it in for maintenance right after hitting 10,000 kilometers, which was the recommended interval in the manual. Each time I went, they basically changed the oil, checked the brakes and tires, and the dealer also took a look at the air conditioning system and such. As a beginner, I figured it's better not to stretch it too far—like if the car gets noisy or the fuel consumption increases after 8,000 kilometers, it's good to go in early. If you're dealing with a lot of city traffic, you might even want to go in a bit earlier, say at 9,000 kilometers. The key is to develop the habit. The dashboard will have reminder lights, and following them saves you from unnecessary expenses. Keeping the car well-maintained makes for a smoother drive, and safety comes first.
